[IF THE WORLD IS FLAT, WHAT ARE WE STILL DOING IN CAMBRIDGE?]

[QUOTE]
"I heard a well-known artist say what's important is the idea. I try to
go with almost no idea. Of course, they are probably there, but I don't
like to write them down or put them in words, otherwise, why do it? I
like to discover what I'm looking for in the process of the work."
